Weinstein guilty of sex crimes
韋恩斯坦性侵罪名成立
Harvey Weinstein, the former movie mogul whose alleged sexual misconduct jump-started the #MeToo movement, was convicted of sexual assault by a New York jury on Monday but acquitted on the most serious charges that could have sent him to prison for the rest of his life.
24日，紐約一個(gè)陪審團(tuán)宣布前電影大亨哈維·韋恩斯坦性侵罪成立，但本可使他終身監(jiān)禁的最嚴(yán)重的幾項(xiàng)指控不成立。#MeToo運(yùn)動(dòng)就是因韋恩斯坦性丑聞案而起。
Weinstein, 67, was convicted of sexually assaulting former production assistant Mimi Haleyi in 2006 and raping Jessica Mann, a onetime aspiring actress, in 2013. He faces up to 25 years in prison on the sexual assault conviction.
現(xiàn)年67歲的韋恩斯坦被告于2006年性侵前制片助理咪咪·哈萊伊，于2013年強(qiáng)奸曾立志成為演員的杰西卡·曼恩，此兩項(xiàng)罪名成立。性侵罪名使他面臨最高25年的監(jiān)禁。
The jury acquitted Weinstein on two counts of predatory sexual assault, which carried a potential life sentence, and first-degree rape of Mann.
陪審團(tuán)裁定韋恩斯坦兩項(xiàng)嚴(yán)重掠奪性侵罪名和曼恩指控的一級(jí)強(qiáng)奸罪名不成立，前者若定罪可判終身監(jiān)禁。
The trial that began on Jan 6 and included the testimony of six women who said - under oath - that Weinstein had sexually assaulted them over the last three decades.
法院于1月6日開庭，六名女性為此案作證，她們指控韋恩斯坦在過(guò)去30年內(nèi)曾對(duì)她們實(shí)施過(guò)性侵。
